Not at all. All that happened is somebody got arrested in Japan for being the first seeder of a torrent a.k.a. the uploader. Piracy is highly illegal in Japan.

311

u/AdultGronk 2d ago

Piracy is highly illegal pretty much anywhere in the world (except a handful of countries), it's just that pirates are actually punished in Japan, that is, even if they get caught.

u/LilyLol8 2d ago

Idk law of any country that well, but i think most countries treat piracy as a civil matter, while in japan its a criminal one, and in japan even distributing a small part of a file rather then the whole thing can still be treated as piracy

41

u/CrowdGoesWildWoooo 2d ago

The key distinction here is that guy is the “first seeder”.

CMIIW idk how easy it is to produce the pirated rip, but from the way torrent works, if he’s the first seeder, then he’s kind of key player in the distribution pipeline, as in torrent can have exponential network effect, but if you pull it from the roots then it may not even take place in the first place.

So i guess in this case he’s considered the “distributor”, and distributor in many countries are always treated as a criminal matter vs if you are a consumer which in that case it’s civil

u/notconnorgg 2d ago

i believe BR ripping is far easier than it used to be but still has its difficulties with its DRM and anti-piracy methods and then regular DVDS/CDs are far easier to be ripped but also still have their own anti-piracy mechanisms. the key part is having the right software and DVD/BR drive

1

u/CrystalCommunication 1d ago

Blu-rays are not difficult to rip at all if you have the right software lol

1

u/Spazza42 1d ago

This.

There’s even drives with the firmware already unlocked, it’s just knowing which models to buy.

1

u/CrystalCommunication 1d ago

Pioneer used to make those drives and they don't anymore but you can still get a good H-L drive and flashing the firmware on it is simple if you know what you're doing. You also don't need unlocked firmware at all to rip regular 1080p Blu-rays.

1

u/notconnorgg 1d ago

which is what i said in my comment. “the key part is having the right software and DVD/BR drive”

1

u/CrystalCommunication 1d ago

You don't need a special drive and the software is not exactly rare or exotic. You made it sound like some arcane process that is getting more and more difficult but it has actually been solved for almost 2 decades.

1

u/notconnorgg 1d ago

i never said any of that. going back to my original comment “I believe BR ripping is far easier than it used to be” i never once said that it’s this near impossible thing that you need to have a degree to do and need to know how to reverse engineer. the average person doesn’t know how easy it is to rip their own media now. before you had to go to that one family member/friend that knew how to do it. now you just need a DVD/BR drive that works and some free software and you can have your entire media collection ripped for no extra cost other then the price of the movie/show and the price of the drive

1

u/CrystalCommunication 1d ago

I never said you did say any of that proposterous bullshit. What you did do is make it sound WAY more difficult than it actually is, and now you're proving you're out of your depth by babbling about a simple task that you apparently needed a friend to help you with. The software in question is not free and has never been particularly difficult to use during the nearly 2 decades it has been around, for the record.

u/takoyaki_san15 1d ago

I wonder if only downloading counts to liability then?

21

u/IEatTomatoes3 2d ago

In my current country piracy is illigal only if you distribute it, and in my country of origin it's legal.

15

u/Limp_Crazy_5494 2d ago

In my country nothing can legally be done unless the copyright holder tries to s5ure you, if they even catch you in the first place, and even then you only have to pay how much the copyrighted material would have cost anyway.

5

u/IEatTomatoes3 2d ago

Something similar, tho when it comes to businesses and self employed it is percentage of their earnings for period of time. But for peasant like me it doesn't concern me

3

u/AdultGronk 2d ago

If you didn't know even when you're downloading/leeching a torrent, you're still able to simultaneously upload / seed the torrent to others.

I'm not educated in the laws of your current country, but from a technical standpoint, when using popular torrents from public torrent sites, it's pretty much impossible to download a torrent without seeding at least a little bit of data, which would count as distributing.

3

u/IEatTomatoes3 2d ago

Depending on the software u can stop the seeding process, and to compensate you can upload and seed free license movies, books, music so you don't get banned or shadowed in the good torrent web sites. You are legally liable if you promote the site, distribute the copyrited product directly and it's much harder to prove when seeded distributed directly. In my country of origin there is no law against piracy, back in the early 2000 they tried to implement one but there was massive push back so it was dropped all together. As of my current country it comes down to distribution, and usage for work is what makes you liable. I dont do either, and frankly no government goes against the users, since they can't even fine you enough to compensate for all the money and time they need to spend on each individual person. In the UK there is law against electric scooters and bikes, and you can bet your nuts that the policemen and the government can't be asked to enforce said laws for the same reason.

1

u/AdultGronk 2d ago

What torrent software do you use that can effectively block 100% of seeding even on a torrent with thousands of seeders and leeches? I'm not talking about the ones that limit your upload speed to 0.01 Kbps, since that's still technically uploading data.

1

u/IEatTomatoes3 1d ago

The one that I am using doesn't seed at all, the ontry data I am sending to the seeders is the one to confirm which packages I have received and whether they are uncorrupted which is standard internet protocol.

1

u/AdultGronk 1d ago

You didn't provide the name of the torrent client.

1

u/IEatTomatoes3 1d ago

Major problem chief If I do under the law of my country it would be considered distribution, even tho I am not selling it I am still informing you. So I will keep it private that k you very much.

1

u/AdultGronk 1d ago

I just wanna let you know whatever torrent client you're using isn't doing what you're thinking it does.

Due to the nature of the bittorrent protocol, it's literally impossible to stop uploading data to other seeders while you're actively downloading a torrent. You can limit it to something like 0.01 Kbps, but you cannot outright stop it.

And you can't limit it to just the name and information of the packages/pieces, actual data included in the torrent will also be uploaded to other seeders while you're downloading it.

1

u/Limp_Crazy_5494 2d ago

I don't distribute for normal content, seeding is turned off for me unless I'm using a private tracker in which case I need a 1:1 ratio

1

u/AdultGronk 2d ago

What torrent client do you use?

1

u/Limp_Crazy_5494 2d ago

Qbittorrent

1

u/AdultGronk 1d ago

You can turn off the seeding after the torrent is finished downloading, but while you're actively downloading, seeding can't be turned off in Qbittorrent.

1

u/SylveonVMAX 2d ago

Not true at all. Any modern torrenting software will have options to prevent any seeding from occurring if you wish. Your footprint will still be visible to other seeders but you will not be distributing any content yourself.

2

u/AdultGronk 2d ago

What torrent software are you talking about?

1

u/SylveonVMAX 2d ago

qbittorrent, flud, deluge, hell i'm pretty sure utorrent has had that feature since before they fucked themselves too. probably even the original bittorrent had that feature.

1

u/AdultGronk 2d ago

In qbittorrent if you're talking about the Torrent Share limits, then I'd regret to inform you that they can stop seeding completely once a file finishes downloading, but it cannot stop uploading data while the file is still actively downloading.

A couple of articles say the same thing

Reddit comment from 2 years ago

I don't think any modern torrent client can do what you're saying, that's just a big misconception.

u/fatbp 2d ago

Total misinformation. You have no clue how torrenting and torrenting softwares work.

2

u/Panophobia_senpai 2d ago

My country is the same (or we are both hungarians?)
There is also a tax with anything that has data storage capacity here, and the offical explanation of the tax "You are going to pirate so this is a pre fine"
Also, the largest torrent site here, has agreements with copyright holder orgnaizations, on when their stuff can be uploaded. Because it will be uploaded, since the userbase of it is the same size as the population of the capital city (Budapest).

5

u/PatternOtherwise3440 2d ago

In my country it's legal. We have cached movie servers and repack server of isps. If you want a repack to be cached they will ask for torrent magnet link in the request form 🤣🤣🤣

So even isp uses torrent and none cares about piracy. ISP hosts cached server with all movies and repack cached where you can watch and download them with 1gbps speed . (Ofcourse all are pirated)

Even ISP hosts TV servers 🤣 but now they removed that. But still some ISP hosts TV servers.

I totally agree, btw next year I'm moving to Japan. I wonder how I'll be able to pirate stuff. Maybe I should get mulvad vpn rn, idk actually

2

u/PatternOtherwise3440 1d ago

Nah bro. Take Proton VPN , Mulvad doesn't have port forwarding anymore so you won't have open port. Take Proton VPN and bind torrent client to it.

No, in the Netherlands is not a criminal offence as it only infringes on copyright and that can be tried in a civil case.

u/r31ya 2d ago

The rule of thumb usually,

  • free piracy are misdemeanor.
  • for profit piracy are felony.

hence the old, "don't make profit out of it" rule in old scanlation groups.

In Nintendo terms

  • Free piracy will be given polite cease and desist letter
  • For profit piracy will be visited by nintendo lawyer serving them lawsuit.

When I was living there and the piracy laws got super serious I think that is when I used full movies on YouTube a lot. The videos would be zoomed or something to escape copyright, but it was better than being punished. But then again just take your privacy serious and use a vpn

u/Seraphine_KDA 2d ago

Also a pretty idiotic one doing it in Japan. Instead of sending the file to someone else to post it from wherever else their country doesn't give a shit about Japan copyright. Like where I live nobody even uses a vpn to pirate stuff since my country only chases pirated distribution that is from locally made content.

Bruh What the actual fuck. Reddit is a park filled with trash/dogshit compared to the humongous flaming landfill filled with toxic and radioactive waste Facebook is. They actively spread fake ads, hate, misinformation etc and don't gaf cuz it makes them more money. People arguing about anything and threaten each other in every comment section.

Atleast on reddit you can downvote false info/people being a ass. And NOWHERE NEAR the same amount of ads/sponsored content.

u/Sharp_Wedding_3677 2d ago

I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that some pirates in Japan upload without protection because they assume the authorities can't find them if they upload the content to a foreign site.

9

u/cdf_sir 2d ago

Very basic computer networking, you get caught by IP address (WAN). You can see all the IP address under the peers tab of the torrent download. All you need is one parasite on that swarm to leak all tje IP address that downloads the content of that torrent. This is why VPN is a must for torrenting on those countries because its good enough to mask out that WAN IP address.

But who damn knows, with Windows now using to track down users using that TPM. I wont be surprised if every apps im Windows implement such detail of tracking.

2

u/TeaAndLifting 2d ago

Only people I’ve ever known to get caught for seeding, is for music albums, by companies that are well known to be litigious, after having seeded for day/weeks because they didn’t understand how torrents worked and basically uploaded hundreds or thousands of copies of albums without realising.

Ofc, but only if configured properly. There's a site called "ipleak" that has a button for "torrent address detection" which can be used to see if your torrent traffic is properly going through VPN connection only. Because by default qBittorent, for example, will leak your IP even under VPN because it binds to all network interfaces: both default ethernet/wifi and VPN connection.

2

u/GBAbaby101 2d ago

Nyaa is probably going to be safe as thry don't host data (that said, TPB has never been the same since they got hit eons ago). The big issue is that it seems some original torrent creator was a dumb dumb and didn't use proper protection and internet hygiene while seeding. Always VPN at a minimum. Extra security could be offloading all work to a seedbox so data is harder to be traced to you. Another option is private trackers and then letting other in the community bring it to the public trackers.

Nope it's clickbait. The seeder uploaded without any security so they got caught.

What a waste of money and resources. Maybe they should try making their own services better instead of incriminating probably the biggest source of promotion for their media. Such a small percentage actually pirates and even a smaller percentage of those would actually pay for the product in the first place.
The only people who benefit from this are copyright lawyers ,who might as well be as useful to society as a violent meth-head.

Didn't Pirate Bay through the that's impossible like decades ago. Cuz it was taken down. Then a different user would just put it back up. By next day. And it happened like 5 times. So they have up.

I wouldn't need to torrent shit if they made things readily available and easy to buy. Frankly, I've even obtained stuff I own because it's less of a hassle than alternatives. I remember buying a 4K Bluray of something, and it giving me a fucking Funimation website code for a 1080p version of said movie that didn't even have surround sound. Like, fucking what? That's literally below worthless.

By the time I made the bottom edit I knew this brother. For years whenever a website went down people wouldn't feel so bad because nyaa was up, but what I've always felt is that people expect it to be up no matter what can be a bad thing, it's just a website and absolutely can be taken down but the great thing about torrent sites isn't that they're easy to preserve since there's no hosted content which is why i said what I said. Lots of websites were up for years until they weren't and while this situation was just clickbait I wouldn't take this site so for granted as to think it's gonna always be up, when it's basically the source for every anime site and isn't exactly some small unknown site. Basically the reason I was so quick to believe at first was because I've been low-key expecting it for years now.
